tis the season to sit back and reflect on the triumphs of the previous year, mainly getting Christmas presents.  It was during this season that I learned a valuable lesson that I feel is only fitting that I pass it on to the rest of humanity.

Check out the product returns.

That's right, the great moral victory to be learned from last year is "Go check out the returns!"  To break that down for you, you have a look a typical shopping flier experience.  You see something in a flier for a great price that would be a perfect gift.  You make some time a day or two later to go to the corresponding store and find out that the item in question is long ago sold out, but an equivalent model is only 300X more expensive.

But here's the great wisdom.  In today's "no questions asked"-return-policy-world, there are a number of people that will buy that great priced product, just because its a great deal and then will think to themselves, "what was I thinking?" and will take it back, where it will get stocked in a pile in the back of the customer service desk, ne'r to be thought of again.  I discovered that they will sell you stuff right out of the return pile if you would only ask, and most of the time, the great priced perfect gift will be there en mass.

So there you have it… wisdom from me to you.  Happy new year!

Hi there, I told my loyal followers and various clients that JC TECH SERVICES would have a blog up and that I would update the world on our recent trip to Indonesia.  I couldn't put a post like that up yet, without a "First Post". A "First Post" is an important thing.  It's like the first two weeks of marriage… whatever you do there, sets the standard for everything else that follows.  For instance, if you wanted to impress your new wife with how domesticated and 21st century you are and do all the dishes and and a good portion of the other duties around the house, she may be impressed, but she is also defining what the next 20 years will look like.  A few years down the road, you may wonder why you are still doing a good portion of the dishes. So I need to come up with a first post… something that is easy to read, and in plain English, 'cause that kind of defines our company.  It also has to be fun to read, but not cheesy.  Somewhere in there, I need to warn my readers that I will not be posting each and every day, because I have more important things to do like keeping your websites secure, updated and graphically stunning.  I may not even post weekly, but I don't want to leave the reader thinking that I will never post and not bother even coming back, because that would defeat the purpose of having a blog, which is to slowly and methodically draw the reader into a quasi, cyber relationship that will ultimately lead to referrals and repeat business.  It's an intricate balance. I also need to include a description of what the content will contain.  You see, it will probably have information and thoughts on starting running and improving a business, technical information and discussions about different things that effect the way you or I might use the Internet, and it may contain the occasional personal thought or musing.  I can't make it sound too formal or people won't read it in their "down" time, but I can't make it seem too informal, bacause then people won't take it or us seriously.  Another balance to maintain. Obviously writing a first post like that would be close to impossible, and setting a wrong first impression is not worth it (as pointed out earlier), so I am just going to say…
